It's not really a revert. The code is different (and better) from the
straight revert, but perhaps equally importantly it also ends up with
a big comment about what's going on that made the original commit
wrong.

So I'd suggest just taking the patch as-is, and not calling it a
revert. It may revert to the original _model_ of wakup list traversal,
but it does so differently enough that the patch itself is not a
revert.
